Nursing grads pinned

December 21, 2011

Newburgh, NY -

Mount Saint Mary College recently held a pinning ceremony for 28
nursing graduates in the college’s adult accelerated program. Fr.
Kevin Mackin OFM, president, gave an invocation and blessed the
pins, which were presented to the graduates by chosen family
members and friends.

“A Nurse’s Prayer,” which speaks of dedicating one’s life to
helping others, was also recited.

Mount Saint Mary College offers the only four year nursing
degree program in New York’s mid Hudson Valley and boasts a
NCLEX-RN passage rate in the high 90s to 100.

Students in this highly competitive nursing program hone skills
working with computerized patient simulators in state of the art
labs, and also in clinical experience in the field, as they pursue
their bachelor’s or master’s degree in nursing.

Mount alumni have been recognized in many areas. Margaret
Armento-McDowell received the Nurse Administrator of the Year award
from the New York State Nurses Association. Margaret Deyo-Allers,
of St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital in Newburgh, NY, was named the
Hudson Valley’s Top Nurse.

The Mount is accredited by the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools, plus specialized accrediting commissions such
as the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the
National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE).

A hybrid RN to BSN offers busy working adults the convenience of
online classes and on-site seminars.
